Given the state of a number of AOW divers I have seen with 100 dives it's not ridiculous at all. That includes those with AOW, Rescue, numerous specialties, and even a few with DM certs.
You know, I'm out a line here. Solo is a very personal thing. I'm the last person to be telling anyone how to dive or to do anything. Everyone should dive solo, when they feel they are ready for it, because it is a beautiful thing. The freedom.
